(Natural News) Nikos Kotzias, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, has just confirmed the existence of a massive child organ harvesting ring. Kotzias stated in a recent interview that Greek diplomats have been issuing visas to unaccompanied children, with the intent of facilitating the illegal removal of their organs.

This is not the first time Kotzias has disclosed the presence of such heinous criminal activity. In October 2018, the former official stated, “We sent 93 cases to the Prosecutor, highly evaluated ambassadors went to jail, but the press did not write about them. Because the person who gives a visa in Constantinople [Istanbul] to an unaccompanied child is not just a criminal, he is traitor. A visa for a 14-month-old unaccompanied baby and they tried to cover it up for him.”

The former official says he has filed 93 prosecution cases involving diplomats seeking to exploit children. Fortunately, these people are already in jail. “The fact that I saved a few souls will make me sleep quietly when my life is over,” Kotzias commented.

But the illegal organ trade is far from extinction, and for thousands of children, this nightmare is still far too real.

Illegal child organ harvesting on the rise

Writing for the Gatestone Institute, Maria Polizoidou reports that there are over 3,000 unaccompanied immigrant children residing in Greece, and some 42 percent of those children are homeless or live in a non-permanent residence. All of them are at risk of being exploited, either through sex trafficking or organ harvesting.
